[新聞] Cubs To Sign Brandon Morrow
新聞內容:
3:54pm: It’s a two-year accord with an option for 2020, Jeff Passan of Yahoo
Sports tweets. The deal is pending a physical.
2:38pm: The Cubs are expected to sign Morrow to a contract worth $10MM to
$11MM per year, according to Heyman. The length of the deal is not yet known
(Twitter link).
2:03pm: The Cubs are “moving quickly” to sign free agent reliever Brandon
Morrow, Bruce Levine of 670thescore.com reports (Twitter link). The two sides
are “closing in” on an agreement, Jon Heyman of FanRag tweets. The Cubs’
interest in Morrow dates back to at least November, when Patrick Mooney of
NBC Sports Chicago reported they had identified him as a target. Morrow is a
Wasserman client.
The Cubs’ need for Morrow is greater than it was a few weeks ago,
considering they’ve since cut ties with Hector Rondon and haven’t re-signed
any of Wade Davis, Brian Duensing or Koji Uehara. Those four were among the
relievers Chicago relied on the most last season, leaving the club in clear
need of bullpen help to complement top holdovers Carl Edwards Jr., Pedro
Strop, Mike Montgomery and Justin Wilson. Consequently, in addition to
Morrow, the Cubs are likely to sign one other late-inning reliever, per Ken
Rosenthal of The Athletic (Twitter link).

The 33-year-old Morrow will provide a significant boost to the Cubs’ relief
corps if last season is any indication. In his first full campaign as a
reliever, the former Mariners, Blue Jays and Padres starter put past shoulder
issues behind him to toss 43 2/3 innings with the National League-winning
Dodgers and pitch to a 2.06 ERA, also notching 10.31 K/9 against 1.85 BB/9
and a 45 percent groundball rate. Moreover, the right-hander finished third
among relievers with 40-plus innings in infield fly rate (20.6 percent) and
18th in swinging-strike percentage (16.0).
Statistically, the hard-throwing Morrow wasn’t quite as successful during
the Dodgers’ run to the World Series as he was in the regular season,
yielding six earned runs in 13 2/3 innings, but four of those came in one
disastrous appearance in Game 5 of the Fall Classic. He was highly effective
otherwise – including when he held the Cubs scoreless over 4 2/3, one-hit,
seven-strikeout innings in the National League Championship Series – and
became the second hurler in major league history to pitch all seven games of
the World Series.
Morrow’s workload in last season’s playoffs, in which the Dodgers deployed
him in an eye-popping 14 of 15 games, and injury history stand out as obvious
concerns, but his 2017 dominance nonetheless has him in position to secure a
lucrative contract. That’s quite a change from a year ago when Morrow had to
settle for a minor league pact in late January.

大意是在說 我熊與今年待在道奇的後援投手Brandon Morrow完成簽約
以每年$10MM到$11MM另外附帶選擇權總共兩年約
現今不續約Hector Rondon 另外目前還沒簽回我熊約到期的Wade Davis,Brian Duensing or 上原浩治
今年Morrow在季後賽投13.2局丟了6分 其中四分集中在世界大賽的第五場 希望手臂沒問題
